Qué dolorosa manera de comprender la fragilidad de nuestra existencia. Todo lo que parece estable y permanente es, en realidad, efímero; no solo los edificios, sino nuestra propia vida que pende de un hilo.
Un minuto se puede convertir en una eternidad cuyo recuerdo nos acompañará siempre. Frente a lo eterno, la historia humana es solo un breve suspiro. Abraza cada instante, #FuerzaVenezuela
🇨🇴 CALI, COLOMBIA 🇨🇴
Gun to my head
If I had to spend the next year in one Colombian city and couldn't leave...
I'd probably pick Cali
→ ~3 million in metro; Colombia's third-largest city
→ $1,500–2,000/mo lives well here; cheaper than MDE
→ Lush green mountains visible from anywhere in city
→ Warm but not too hot year-round; 70–85°F
→ World capital of salsa
→ Underrated and overlooked by most gringos
→ Cheap Spanish lessons, great place to learn
Downsides: infrastructure lags, traffic is rough, and safety varies wildly by neighborhood (BIGGEST issue)
But overall...
Cali, Colombia offers low cost of living, great weather, stunning views, and a unique culture that's heavy into salsa dancing
El escandinavo medio:
• Apenas va al gimnasio
• Bebe alcohol regularmente
• Come mantequilla y productos lácteos enteros a diario
Sin embargo, ocupan el PRIMER puesto en materia de FELICIDAD y viven MUCHO más que los ESTADOUNIDENSES.
¿Cuál es su secreto? No es lo que piensas.
Estos 6 factores PRINCIPALES marcan la diferencia: 🧵
@JoseAChozas Primera jugada "abierta" en todos estos juegos y es un desastre por fallar con 3 defensas corriéndole y el arquero por vencer....increible el odio a Gyö, el sistema de Arteta "nada que criticar" que nunca alimenta a su 9...
CÓMO LEER EL CARÁCTER DE ALGUIEN SIN QUE SEPA:
1. Nivel de vida: visto desde los zapatos
2. Salud: visto desde las uñas
3. Familia: vista desde cómo se sientan a comer
4. Actitud: se ve en el rabillo del ojo.
5. Personalidad: se ve en cómo se ríen.
5. Autoconfianza: vista desde cómo caminan.
7. Lealtad: se ve en cómo trata a los suyos.
8. Honestidad: Se observa cuando cumple con su palabra.
9. Éxito: Se observa cuando su diálogo interno es positivo y alegre.
El 99% carece de estas 9 virtudes. La décima virtud la aprendes aquí: https://t.co/0pFRZuaHRL
@elspanishgooner More frustraring is how game after game he is never given the ball in proper/ clear positions! Is drawing 2-3 defenders all Arteta wants from him? How are Gabriel and Martinelli performing?
This might be the most humbling photo in existence.
That tiny faint speck isn't a star. It’s Earth, seen from the surface of Mars. Every human being who has ever lived is right there on that pixel. 🌍✨
When I was born, Sweden was the richest country in the world.
Today I can’t live there.
Back then, Sweden was also the safest country in the world.
And we had the lowest child mortality.
It was a trust and honor based society.
Little enforcement was needed. I’ve never been tricked or scammed by a native Swede.
High tax yes, but with free healthcare, free school and free universities, all world class. Whether your dad was rich or poor, you had the same opportunity, same access to the best universities. Only real merit mattered for admission.
We had the most global companies in the world per person.
We dominated many global industries.
We even produced some of the best music and dominated several sports.
Quite a feat for a nation of then 8 million people.
Today I can’t realistically even live in Sweden - unless I want my house raided and my family assaulted by criminal gangs operating out of no-go zones in the suburbs of Stockholm.
Everyone’s home address is public, a remnant from the trust based era.
In one generation, the country has been destroyed, largely by one bad policy decision.
I’m not against immigration. I’ve lived in 10 countries. I’m the foreigner now. Immigration is not the problem.
Just look at the epic success of Singapore or Dubai. They literally made their success through immigration - merit based.
Or look at the CEOs of companies in Silicon Valley - many immigrants.
Sweden’s mistake is not doing *merit based* immigration, which means to qualify each person individually. It’s the opposite of racism.
- Doctor? Yes.
- Engineer? Yes.
- Pirate? No.
- Lost your police clearance in a boating accident? Also no.
Instead in Sweden we did the other way around.
- Qualified with all papers? Super difficult to get in.
- No papers at all? Awww.. Poor you. Let’s bring 100,000 of those, based on ethnicity.
But what about the human aspect? The compassion. Still makes no sense because with the money it costs to bring one failed integration case to Sweden, you can help 100 people in their home country through development projects. Helping 100 people is better than helping 1.
So what to do now? It’s difficult.
The criminals need to be locked up or thrown out. Every last one. Singapore and Dubai tolerate no crime. In El Salvador, Bukele sent 2,000 soldiers to arrest 2 people. What happens then? Suddenly the next criminal discovers a sudden passion for a new line of work.
In Sweden the police is filling out a form and adding it to the pile marked “no resources”.
Unfortunately I think Sweden needs to hit rock bottom before politicians are ready to embark on an El Salvador style clean-up.
It needs to become safe and attractive to be an entrepreneur in Sweden. Today it is not.
We need incentives attracting entrepreneurs, not pushing them away.
Sweden was a poor and rather miserable country in the 1800s. Many emigrated to Minnesota and other places for their children to not starve to death.
Then Sweden became a wealthy global mega success in the 1900s, thanks to great leadership and brave entrepreneurs.
Sweden can do that journey again but it will take real leadership - a Bukele moment of real change.
Good luck.
An Iraqi immigrant working as home care staff in Sweden, raped a 100yo woman in her home.
His punishment?
4 years in prison. He will not be deported, even though he has citizenship in Iraq, because it would be ”disproportionate”, said Judge Mohamed.
Welcome to the new Sweden.
Jag har en dröm om Sverige 🇸🇪 utan islam.
Jag har en dröm om Sverige 🇸🇪 utan utländska gäng.
Jag har en dröm om Sverige 🇸🇪 utan migrerade kriminella klaner.
Jag har en dröm om Sverige 🇸🇪 där svenskar känner igen oss och trygghet råder.
Jag har en dröm om Sverige 🇸🇪.
🙏🇸🇪❤️
